We invite researchers to submit two-page extended abstracts describing their research contributions in the field of space robotics. We particularly welcome submissions addressing experimental validation of space robotics technologies and novel approaches to challenges in space exploration.

Topics considered at this venue include:

• Autonomous guidance, navigation, & control for space robotics
• Machine learning and artificial intelligence applications for planetary robotic exploration
• Surface mobility and exploration
• Aerial space robotics
• In-space assembly and manufacturing
• Satellite formation-flying and swarms
• Space logistics
• Manipulation in microgravity environments
• Sample collection and handling
• Human-robot interaction for space missions
